>> Darin: No, you said you have all kinds of to talk about.

>> Mike: I just wanted to end the conversation.

>> Darin: Then we're gonna. This will be a ten minute episode.

>> Mike: Shoot. The last time Dave Lay was here, we didn't have anything to talk about.

>> Dave: We got bike fed to Rhode island.

>> Mike: We did cranberries. We got cranberries. But I do have some funny, and I won't offend anyone.

>> Darin: I was just like, you're not going Louis CK.

>> Mike: No, I'm not doing that. I'm just. No.

>> Darin: Scary movies. I've seen Ghostbusters, like, seven times.

>> Mike: So, yeah, pretty much not afraid of anything.

>> Dave: welcome to irritable dad syndrome, the 200th episode. Here are your hosts, Mike and Darren.

>> Darin: Hey, I'm Darren.

>> Mike: I am Mike.

>> Darin: How's it going, everybody? We have Dave lay in the studio with us for this very special episode. Our 200th episode.

>> Mike: 200Th episode. And you just did the thing that Steve Martin said not to do. You asked everybody how they are. A, you don't care, and b, they can't answer you.

>> Darin: Did I do that?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Oh, I'm sorry. Well, m. How are you guys doing?

>> Mike: I'm all right.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: I just broke wind.

>> Darin: So you're happy.

>> Mike: So we have tons of stuff to talk about tonight. Yes. first off, if you're new to the show, this is a, comedy podcast. This is Cincinnati's comedy podcast.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: We don't discuss religion.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: We don't discuss politics. We try to keep things light. I mean, we do.

>> Darin: We don't go controversial.

>> Mike: We do go there every once in a while, but in a comedic view. And we like to let people know what we're talking about when we start the show. tonight, I'm going to talk about. I'm started reading the Bible.

>> Darin: What?

>> Mike: And I want to talk about, politics.

>> Darin: Okay. We're going to talk about the eclipse.

>> Mike: Yeah, the eclipse.

>> Darin: Here in Cincinnati, we had a total solar eclipse.

>> Mike: Yeah, the thing in the sky, not a car.

>> Darin: That's right. Yeah, that's right. Not the, drink and not the chewing gum. Yeah.

>> Dave: Or the Mitsubishi problem.

>> Darin: The Mitsubishi eclipse. We're not gonna talk about that. But, yeah, we had a total solar.

>> Mike: Eclipse, like, right there in our backyard.

>> Darin: Yeah, it was badass. It was really cool.

>> Mike: There were jack holes that drove hundreds of miles to come. To come to Ohio to come here and get some skyline and, stand in some jackass's yard. Probably paying $200 to park in his driveway while everybody's staring at him drinking their bush beer. Yeah, to watch the. Watch this thing, like two minutes. He probably sold them glasses for a $1,000 each because nobody thought I had to buy those. Right. And then they drove their sorry asses home, getting pulled over because they were drinking bush beer and eating skylines.

>> Mike: Dumb sons of bitches.

>> Darin: Tell me how you really.

>> Mike: I'm just saying it was wonderful for it to be, like, in the backyard.

>> Darin: Like it was.

>> Mike: And Andrew was excited about that because we were like, it's right out there. We don't have to drive anywhere. Yes, we don't have to go anywhere. There's podunk, hotels just north of us. Next to the traders world. Or like I like to call, other Proctorville.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And they. There were hotels around there selling rooms for 600 and $700 a night.

>> Dave: What?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: Kidding me?

>> Mike: Yeah. You get bedbugs and you get a front row seat of, three minutes of the end of the world and then everything. Low, low price.

>> Darin: By the way, please get your vaccine after leaving. And thank you for visiting Ohio.

>> Mike: But. Yeah, so I timed. I timed the dark side of the moon. I did the thing, I did the math and figured out to get the.

>> Darin: So you played, brain damage and then eclipse?

>> Mike: No, no. Well, the whole album.

>> Darin: Oh, okay. You did the whole.

>> Mike: Okay, you started 43 minutes and 20 something seconds. 42. 41 minutes and 53 seconds before totality.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And right when, they say, and the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

>> Mike: Timed. And then if I was the only one that heard.

>> Dave: Did you record this?

>> Mike: No. Well, best. Best man, actually. She was taking video of the whole thing.

>> Darin: Now, I timed the wizard of Oz at the same time as the.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. So the clips hits when the monkeys fly.

>> Darin: No, you remember years ago where they were talking about how the wizard of Oz syncs up. I'm like, how many other album movies did they try this with? Like, appetite for destruction and Peewee's big adventure? No, this doesn't work. Let's try back in black and apocalypse now.

>> Mike: Yeah, this doesn't work. I think Gojira and the notebook works. Works pretty well from what I've heard. but no. Yeah, we.

>> Dave: How do you not try to make that work?

>> Mike: Go.

>> Darin: Zero and the notebook.

>> Mike: So nice. Did you notice any weird animal activity? Werewolves.

>> Darin: Both of my kids were acting weird, but they're 1915 and that's what they do.

>> Mike: I mean, we were checking our dogs for weird behavior, but how could you tell?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Couldn't tell what was going on.

>> Darin: Yeah. so, Dave, where were you for the eclipse?

>> Dave: I was, pretty much in my driveway.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: With the wife and the dog that couldn't keep his glasses on.

>> Darin: What's the dog's name?

>> Dave: Rocky.

>> Mike: Rocky.

>> Dave: He's a boxer.

>> Darin: Okay. I like. Yeah, yeah, I see what you got.

>> Dave: I thought it was going to be more profound than it was. It's kind of cool. And now it's back to normal.

>> Darin: Now, did you have totality where you were?

>> Dave: No.

>> Darin: Because you're in Milford. Milford, yeah.

>> Dave: Yep.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Dave: But it was cool. Here's the cool part about that entire thing is the mania that happens around it.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Dave: And lots of my neighbors were setting up lawn chairs.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: For no apparent reason.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: Except for this.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: Yeah, it was cool.

>> Darin: Well, what I thought was wild was, after the. Everything was done and the eclipse, the moon passed. There were sirens going off all around. I don't know. I have no idea. I don't know if people were, like, trying to watch it while driving and crashing into each other or what, but there were sirens all over our neighbor.

>> Dave: I'll bet you the siren guy said, watch this.

>> Mike: So. So we had the, eclipse in. Was it 2017? Was the last time? It was like 90% or something like that. And, of course, all the weirdos that drove out to Arizona to see the totality we're putting on facebook. totality is nothing like the 90. You guys missed it, and you're all going to die.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Unfulfilled and all this stuff. And then this hit. So then we were excited that the totality would be in our yard. And I will say that when the last little vestige went away and we took off the glasses and looked, it was like, that looks very eerie. Cool.

>> Darin: It does.

>> Mike: Strange.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I read a story, and I know the keyboard warriors that listen to the show. People, who listen to the show don't type, but they're thinking.

>> Dave: You're talking about Chris Hughes.

>> Darin: Yeah, he writes at the crayon.

>> Mike: But there was a battle.

>> Darin: That was bad spelling.

>> Mike: Yeah. Apparently there was a battle. I don't know if you know what the battle is or it was, but way back in the day, back before people knew what eclipses were, before they knew that we were on a globe floating through space, any of that stuff. Yeah, there was a battle happening, and eclipse hit. So I knew this story before the eclipse. I'm like, I want to know how I would react if I were actively fighting people. And suddenly everything got cold and dark, and it looked like there was a hole punched in the sky. You would assume it's pretty terrifying.

>> Darin: Yeah. The gods are angry with you.

>> Mike: But apparently the battle ended and everybody just kind of stopped killing each other.

>> Darin: They were like, hey, what happened?

>> Mike: And they just decided to go home. And it was the end of the battle. It's the first recorded event of, history being changed because of a celestial.

>> Darin: I've never heard that.

>> Mike: It was way back in the, We're not a history podcast, right?

>> Darin: No, we're not.

>> Mike: Back in 1973, I think it was.

>> Darin: It was in the seventies.

>> Mike: But I thought, you know, Carter was president, you know, if I were, neanderthal from Rhode island.

>> Darin: Huh?

>> Mike: Yeah. Just voted for Carter. Neanderthal from Rhode Island, Rhode island. And I just voted for Carter. And then I'm fighting whoever they would fight. What? Delaware is the only state that they could possibly challenge.

>> Darin: I would think so.

>> Mike: Delaware.

>> Darin: Who would win, Rhode island or Delaware?

>> Mike: Delaware. Rhode island. Because they feel like they have more to prove.

>> Dave: Well, than where there's cranberries.

>> Mike: Cranberries.

>> Darin: And there.

>> Mike: They could survive a siege for years with cranberries. Right. They would fight for everything. And then they would see that big hole in the sky and say, yeah, maybe we don't fight anymore. We just have some cranberries.

>> Darin: No, we were talking about that. Mom came over, and then Chris Michael and his, wife Mary came over and watched the eclipse with. Or the eclipse, as, some of my friends from Tennessee call it.

>> Mike: Did you watch the eclipse?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: hyphen clips.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Did you see the coming of ragnarok? Did you damn norse we were talking about.

>> Darin: It's like, what would a, you know, caveman or one of the pioneers or something.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You're out there just, you know, farming. Like, what the hell is that?

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: They didn't have anybody. NASA?

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: Tell them that the moon was gonna cross the sun.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: They must have thought it was the end of the world.

>> Mike: And I don't know about you, but when I poop.

>> Mike: It lasts more than four minutes often. If I care about cleaning myself up and going back out into society, I'm just saying, not yet. But I would be the guy. I would be the caveman that goes off in the bushes to let fly.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And then the eclipse happens, and everybody else is, whatever they say, dancing around. And I'm like, I can't wait, looking for leaves.

>> Darin: Like, what are you talking about.

>> Dave: Yeah, Mike Odell said the word poop.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Dave: And now the announcer can't contain himself.

>> Darin: The announcer is four years old.

>> Dave: Well, no, I'm up to six.

>> Darin: Oh, okay. Okay.

>> Mike: But all in all, as far as celestial, events that involve the sun and the moon, I thought it was pretty good.

>> Darin: I thought it was pretty cool. As far as celestial events. When, Libby and I were in Australia for our honeymoon, we saw the southern cross, and we got to see a lot of the other constellations that you don't, get to see henceforth. where to for on this, part of the, world?

>> Mike: The fisherman's chum bucket.

>> Darin: that one, yes.

>> Mike: Dropped the lower testicle.

>> Darin: Yes. Yes.

>> Mike: Those isn't a spongeBob. No, no, no.

>> Dave: Okay.

>> Darin: But, yeah, and that was pretty cool.

>> Mike: There's another one happening tomorrow night. So if you have binoculars, and I know you do, because I hear these stories about the neighbors all the time.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Take your binoculars out it just after sunset. Mm M look for the moon.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then Jupiter. And then, right, just over here, you've got the moon up here. This is an audio.

>> Darin: This audio, audio podcast. Over.

>> Mike: It's over here, guys, here. And you got Jupiter here. Right there.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: Is the demon comet. Have you heard of the demon comet? But apparently there's a classification of comet. They ran out of cool words, so we'll call that the demon. So, from what I read on the interwebs on this sheet, this page, and I have very. I don't care about what I'm reading, and I don't care about reporting accurately. So take this with a grain of salt.

>> Darin: We've never claimed to be accurate, but.

>> Mike: From that muddledness, apparently a demon comet is a comet that just comes into our solar system, tillages the fields, for a few months, and then zooms right back out.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And so it's gonna be here through July or so, but during that time, it'll be so close to the sun, you won't be able to see it. my favorite thing is, there was a little computer CGI image of what it would look like. And it was like, this green. Look like something out of Ghostbusters. It looked like when they caught slimer in the trap right there. And then at the bottom, it said, we're not exactly sure what this looks like. This is an artist's rendition. Then why did you show it?

>> Dave: Are you going to set up the lawn chairs in the driveway like everybody else?

>> Mike: No, but we do have. We do have celestial binoculars, which are the most nerdy looking things you've ever seen, if you've seen them. Yeah. They're. They're about that long that you can't. I mean, you could hold them with your hands, but you look like an idiot.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And when have you ever worried about that? never.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: But we bought them to take on our trip out west, and then I think I got them out one night that whole time we were there. And the rest of the time, we were just using the regular camera.

>> Darin: Right?

>> Mike: Yeah, but I'm gonna set those up on the tripod. Set that thing up and try to see if we can see it.

>> Darin: The demon comet.

>> Mike: The demon comet.

>> Darin: Okay. Okay.

>> Mike: I'm just interested in what a demon comet looks like.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Dave: You're listening to irritable dad syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast.

>> Mike: That is, without question, the funniest story I've ever heard.

>> Darin: Dave, how you been?

>> Dave: I've been okay.

>> Darin: Yeah. What's been going on?

>> Dave: that is same old, same old. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: this is our 200th episode, and I wanted you to be in the studio with us because, I absolutely love your portion, what you contribute to this podcast, and I wanted to personally thank you.

>> Dave: Well, yeah, of course. Yeah. You know, we've been friends for a long time.

>> Darin: We've been friends for a very long time.

>> Dave: Yep, yep.

>> Mike: What?

>> Darin: 16 years now, probably, wouldn't you think? Well, since before Cameron was born, so. Yeah, yep, yep.

>> Dave: And you fired me, and I fired,

>> Darin: So, yeah, Dave and I, we've been friends for a long time. We used to work together. We did corporate video production together, and, that was a lot of fun. Dave, you had your birthday is one day before my birthday.

>> Dave: That's correct.

>> Darin: And so we have a lot in common.

>> Dave: And I'm a 68 model.

>> Darin: You're a 71.

>> Dave: You're 71.

>> Darin: Born in 1970.

>> Dave: Okay. I thought you rolled off the line.

>> Darin: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but no, and as soon as we, you know, Mike and I decided to do this podcast, I said, I know exactly what we can do.

>> Mike: I know a guy.

>> Darin: I know a guy.

>> Mike: He was smart enough to fire me. This guy's. This guy knows what he's doing.

>> Dave: And I said, I've left it poop jokes.

>> Darin: I've got exactly what we need. I told Mike, I said, hang on. And then I got you to record some audio, and Mike instantly was a fan of you as well. So, again, thank you for everything you do for this podcast.

>> Dave: I was going to ask, as it relates to Mike Hughes, how's he doing?

>> Darin: Mike Hughes or Chris Hughes?

>> Dave: Chris Hughes.

>> Darin: Chris Hughes is fine. I mean, as fine as Chris Hughes can be. I mean, you know. Yeah, he's coming up in July. He's coming up to Cincinnati.

>> Dave: Come up here before, and I didn't know he's coming.

>> Darin: No, he. Well, you did know, because we went to dinner. He paid for your dinner.

>> Dave: Well, yeah, but, I mean. Well, that was the.

>> Darin: Dave, are you having fun?

>> Mike: Chris is here.

>> Dave: Well, Mike said the word poop. but is he coming up?

>> Darin: Really? Yeah, he's coming up in July.

>> Dave: I owe that guy dinner.

>> Darin: He and, he and Lisa are coming up. They're going to go see the red, hot chili peppers, and, then.

>> Dave: They'Re going to say, this really sucks out of here. Are you going to have them here on the. On the show?

>> Darin: I think so, yeah.

>> Mike: Well, I think we could not have them. We need to have them on.

>> Darin: I'll have to have you, come by and say hi to them.

>> Mike: We're thinking of just bringing them on the show, having them sit here, get everything situated, and then start the stream, and then we'll leave.

>> Darin: Just leave.

>> Mike: We'll be right back. And then we'll go watch the stream at the neighbor's house, and, Yeah, and see how long it takes them to just go away.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: See what they talk about during.

>> Dave: All right.

>> Darin: But that reminds me, I'd like to thank all of our patrons who, who contribute to this podcast, who keep us afloat. Honest to God. Seriously. Thank you.

>> Mike: And there's bonus stuff on there now. Good lord. If you start now, it's. It's.

>> Darin: I mean, seriously. And I. There may be people who are sick of hearing this, but I need it to be known now really is the best time to be a patron because there is so much bonus audio out there. It's sick.

>> Mike: Yeah, we don't want you to get sick of us, though. Just take it in, in small doses.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Regularly.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Every week.

>> Darin: With a friend.

>> Mike: With a friend and a loved one.

>> Dave: Yeah. Cut. Hello, everybody. Greg here, a longtime patron of the irritable dad syndrome. Although, quite frankly, I'm not sure why I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate Darren and Mike on their 20th episode.

>> Mike: What?

>> Dave: Not 20 at a zero.

>> Darin: It's 200.

>> Dave: They've been doing 200 of these things, man. I've got some catching up to do. Anyway, guys, congratulations on your 200th episode of the irritable dad Syndrome. I hope to hear at least, oh, 200 more.

>> Darin: So, Dave, do you ever listen to an episode and hear something that you've cut, that you forgot that you cut, and then. And then laugh like, well, yeah, turned out funny.

>> Dave: Typically, it's like, that sounds like garbage. I gotta get a new microphone. That's what it is.

>> Darin: Are you critical of yourself?

>> Dave: Oh, my gosh.

>> Darin: Really?

>> Dave: Yeah. Because I think I talk to you about that.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Mike: You gotta get past that. I'm past that at this point. I did.

>> Dave: I'm like, why does Darren sound better than me? And I've got one of these. That's what it comes down to.

>> Mike: I've gotten. I got fearful of the podcast for a while there. When Darren started editing alone, I got scared of the podcast because I know from editing this how much stupid I say that I have to cut out, and I'll be listening, and I'll be like, I can't believe I just said that. I'm gonna cut that whole sentence out. And I did a little bit to Darren, but not so much. Cause I don't care that much. No, I do. If Darren doesn't sound good, then the show doesn't sound good. If I don't sound good, the show doesn't sound good. Right. So I was terrified to listen to it. And then I came back to it after a few months of just not listening to it, and I found myself. I didn't remember any of this, and I was laughing myself silly.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: well, yeah, the AMC. I did an AMC promo, like, two years ago, and I just. Hey. What? Really? Oh, that's good.

>> Mike: And I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. Cause I just started mowing. Season has started. So my podcast listening is up. And I listen.

>> Dave: That's right.

>> Mike: Not the latest episode, but the next two latest.

>> Darin: Mm

>> Mike: And I actually forgot that it was us. I literally forgot. And I was listening to you say something, and I. And I thought to myself, and this might be a sign of early sworn sign of dementia. I thought to myself, oh, the other guy needs to say this. And then I said it. And I'm like, I'm so in tune with it. I literally, like, I'm so in tune with these guys. And then the cognizant part of my brain, the lucid part of my brain came in and said, you dumbass, that is you.

>> Darin: Well, I enjoyed that, listening to my own podcast. And, yeah, that may sound vain, but I enjoy it.

>> Mike: You still listen to it every time you do it?

>> Darin: Sure I do.

>> Dave: That's my mom.

>> Mike: Okay, tell ah, your mom on the show. We can to be good for the patrons.

>> Dave: Hi, this is Dave. Hi, ma.

>> Speaker D: Hi, honey. Hey, listen, what does it mean when you're leaking coolant?

>> Dave: yeah, it's the top of the radiator. Yes, I think your radiator has gone bad, and it's due.

>> Speaker D: Wait a minute. Say that louder.

>> Dave: I, think that. I think you need a new radiator, and that's an easy fix. I can take care of that.

>> Speaker D: Oh, honey, really? How can you take care of it?

>> Dave: Well, I did Emma's Subaru radiator, so it's no big deal.

>> Speaker D: What did you do, go to a junkyard and get it?

>> Dave: No, no. You get a new one. Yeah.

>> Speaker D: Okay. Okay.

>> Dave: Well, mom, I gotta tell you right now, you're being broadcasted live on a podcast. Oh, no, mom.

>> Darin: hi, Dave's mom.

>> Mike: Yeah, this is. Is great.

>> Speaker D: Amazing. Okay.

>> Dave: No, no, ma, don't. Please don't hang out.

>> Darin: No, no, no.

>> Mike: We want to hear more about the coolant. Yeah, but how did you. How did you first determine that you had a coolant leak?

>> Speaker D: Well, because when we arrived back today and you said, oh, that's coolant, and I thought, okay. So I backed out, and sure enough, there was another little puddle because I cleaned up the previous.

>> Mike: Where were you coming? Did you go. Did you go to one of these people's yards in Ohio to watch the eclipse and pay $200 to park there and eat skyline?

>> Speaker D: I experienced it in my car.

>> Mike: There you go. That's good.

>> Darin: So let me ask you a question. When did Dave develop his deep, robust, sexy voice?

>> Speaker D: Oh, my goodness. He was born with it.

>> Dave: Yeah, that's the same thing.

>> Speaker D: Oh, my. 59 years, and he's the love of my life.

>> Darin: Oh, that's so adorable.

>> Speaker D: That's just the way it is. When there are keepers. You have to search for them, though, and find the truth.

>> Mike: It'd be easier to have this podcast right now with Dave if he'd put his pants back on.

>> Darin: Mike, you're not. That's his mom, for goodness sake.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah.

>> Darin: Oh, my goodness.

>> Dave: You know, you start hanging out strip joints, is this is what's gonna happen?

>> Mike: Hello?

>> Dave: Hello? Can you hear me?

>> Speaker D: What's his name? Just tell him I said hello.

>> Dave: Oh, this is Mike. Yeah, I'm, Mike, and this is Darren.

>> Darin: And I'm Darren. Yeah, your son fired me years ago, by the way.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dave and I used to work together.

>> Dave: At DSE, and I fired him.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Speaker D: And you fired him.

>> Mike: Yes, I did.

>> Speaker D: Oh, that's fun. I gotta go in.

>> Dave: Take care all right, mom, you. You're looking at about $150. It's no big deal.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Dave: All right. Talk to you soon. Love you.

>> Darin: Oh, that was so.

>> Mike: That was okay.

>> Dave: So that was getting cut or zoo.

>> Mike: No, no, that's the episode right there.

>> Darin: That's absolutely going in. That's what she said about Subaru radiators.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: It was so sweet.

>> Mike: Have you heard our show? That's golden. We literally have a Dave's mom moment.

>> Darin: 55 years old and she still calls you honey.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: That's adorable.

>> Dave: She's. That is a 70 something.

>> Darin: No, but you're 55.

>> Dave: I'm 55.

>> Mike: Yeah. Right.

>> Darin: That's adorable.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Dave: Yep.

>> Darin: That. Maybe I should call my mom.

>> Dave: You know, mother's day is coming up.

>> Darin: I know.

>> Dave: Oh, is he?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: Oh, there's the idea.

>> Darin: When is it? When's mother's day?

>> Dave: it's the 14th of Maya. Okay.

>> Darin: I got time. I got time.

>> Mike: Bono's birthday. June.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Mike: Hi, this is Lisa Hughes.

>> Speaker D: I'd like to congratulate Darren, Mike, and Dave on 200 episodes of irritable dad syndrome. And by the way, Chris is now banned from the bedroom.

>> Mike: Let's get back to the comedy. Okay. I started reading the Bible.

>> Dave: So listen, now there's some comedy.

>> Mike: I made a. I made a. What do you call that? I'm not good for New Year's resolutions. And Darren's given me the old eyeball here. Where are we going?

>> Darin: It's the lazy eye.

>> Mike: 200 episodes. I made a goal to read a book a month this year. Now I'm ahead of the game. I've read Salem's, lot. I've read some book by this guy that's a show and I can't even remember the name of it. Jack, reacher. The first Jack reacher novel.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I've read Carrie by Stephen King. I enjoy Stephen King.

>> Darin: yeah.

>> Mike: Ah. And I've read Dune. Dune one.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: So that's four books.

>> Darin: That's pretty good.

>> Mike: And we're in, April, and I've started reading the second dune book. And then I thought to myself, I've never read the entire Bible. Like, the Bible.

>> Darin: The Bible.

>> Mike: The Bible. And I'm going to tread very lightly here. there was a very, Ah, excitable man, that used to be a Facebook friend of mine that would, From the mountaintop scream, it has to be the king James Bible. That or bad things will happen to you.

>> Darin: That was my father.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So I thought I'm going to do that. But then I was looking for them on, Amazon. That's a good place to buy bibles. And I saw one the most highly rated because there's different ratings. And I couldn't help but look at some of the lower rated bibles. Like, what do you.

>> Darin: They rate?

>> Mike: They rate their bibles. That's what I got. I got a five star bible.

>> Darin: you know, this one, the pages don't turn quite as they kind of stick together.

>> Mike: This one has tons of, tons of footnotes and side stories and stuff. And so it has this, like a thesaurus text of the original text, as it were. The King James text, is all in bold and everything. And then it has all these footnotes, and this appears here and that there. And, paintings and pictures of the actual places.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And all this stuff. So I will tell you, you know, the Bible, I don't spoiler. It starts with in the beginning.

>> Darin: The beginning?

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. That there's like two or three lines is all that fits on that first page. And the rest is just like, they have personality profiles of the major characters. Like, there's a profile of Adam, and it goes way out there. So you can read it from the standpoint of, I just want to read the, the text or if you want to learn more or. What did they mean when they said this word? you know, what does that mean in Greek? What does that mean in Hebrew? All these fun things. So I'm like, this is great. I get to read this. And if I run into a section that I don't understand or I want more information, right. There is a thing. So I get maybe three or four verses in, and I'm just noticing that there's all these little a's and little b's and go to this foot and go that. And it started to get really annoying. It started. What started out as a fun venture became, stopping every three or four words, with somebody that in my head is just this guy saying, I'm actually, what they're saying here is. So then I have to go read the thing because I want to know what they're, I don't want to mess up this early in.

>> Darin: It reminds me of that scene in Slingblade with Dwight yocomb. This begat this and this beget that. I don't understand none of it.

>> Mike: But if you, if you don't get the story right in the beginning, literally.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: In the beginning, you're screwed. two or three books on down the line, you're not gonna know what's going on.

>> Darin: Right?

>> Mike: So like, I need to understand what's going on.

>> Darin: You, the cliff notes.

>> Mike: And then I read some of these footnotes. Now, I didn't have a problem with the actual text, but then there were a few things in the footnotes and I'm like, ah, I don't think that's what they meant to. I think you're wrong, mister scholar. Oh, I disagree with you.

>> Darin: Here we go.

>> Mike: On.

>> Dave: That was from the book from way down on the Amazon.

>> Mike: No, no, no, this was the top. This is the top. This is a study bible. Oh, yeah.

>> Darin: So I, okay, so it's a.

>> Dave: You okay, you didn't tell me you're researching the Bible.

>> Mike: You went down, you go to the bottom. Yeah, yeah. You go to the bottom tier bibles. And there's some, but I wanted to get a top tier. Good, good one.

>> Darin: I love how it's like, if you're looking for comedy, you get this Bible because it's so hilarious.

>> Dave: Amazon has a one star.

>> Mike: I only got like three or four chapters in. And I'm like, I, this is no way to read this thing. I can't read this like this. I, every five words I'm stopping. And actually, you know, this part of Greece, had the best olives for the oil that was on the, I don't, I don't care. Use the oil. It doesn't matter if it came from this tree or whatever. I've decided the way that I'm going through this thing is I'm going to read the original text and reserve the right, uh-huh. To have a problem with the footnote guy.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Right. I think. No. And that makes it easier to have a problem because I can imagine.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Mike: you know, him being a, you know, just a footnote guy, I can disagree with him on some of things that he's saying, but still read the text as it was. And then if I get lost, if I get down this alley and I'm like, you know, it would help me to understand this better if I knew exactly what type of cranberry they're talking about here. I can look at the footnote.

>> Darin: I'm not, I'm not a bible expert.

>> Mike: But I don't remember cranberries I'm using because I haven't made it that far. I mean, rhetorically speaking.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: you know, I've skipped ahead. I've skipped ahead.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And they'll have like, you know, there were, there were a couple of battles. People fought a little bit in the fight, a little bit of fighting, and you can. And they'll have maps of where this army was and where that. And they. I don't know how they got that from the original text. So I'm okay with maybe, they were wrong about where they actually were. It doesn't seem to be cognizant or, needed for what's in the actual text. So you have the opportunity to read the original text, the short version of this. David, there's no way I'm getting through this thing in April.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Mike: So I'm going to read books alongside.

>> Dave: So you're going to get four of them in.

>> Mike: Yeah. I got to figure out a good, proper cadence. My plan is to get through it by the end of the year and then continue my one book per month. So the month. Now that I started reading the Bible, lo and beholden, the book in dune that I'm reading is called Messiah.

>> Darin: Okay. M. Yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: You know, so I'm gonna get confused, I think, at some point.

>> Darin: Sadly, everything I know about the Bible I learned from, watching pulp fiction.

>> Dave: Several cuss words.

>> Darin: Yeah. During the Ezekiel 20 517 part.

>> Dave: Yeah. Okay, so, Mike, what's happening? What book are you gonna read after the Bible?

>> Mike: Who?

>> Darin: Yeah, Mike. What's next on Mike's?

>> Mike: Like I said, I'm gonna read that revelation through the year when I get revolutions. I'm done with all that stuff.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Mike: I don't know. I don't know where you. Where do you go from there?

>> Darin: I have so many books.

>> Mike: The stand. Yeah.

>> Darin: I've actually read the stand.

>> Mike: I have to.

>> Darin: It took me all summer long. It took me three or four months to read the stand. Took me forever.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I did it because with my attention span, it was just impossible.

>> Mike: That one's a slow burn.

>> Darin: Yeah, it was. I'll tell you what. With the stand.

>> Mike: Yeah. The.

>> Darin: The chapter that they kind of brushed over in both of the. The miniseries that I've seen was the one chapter about the people who. Spoiler alert. The people who passed away as a result of. But they weren't afflicted with the captain trips. Is that what it's called?

>> Mike: That's the virus.

>> Darin: Yeah. They didn't have captured. It was like, there's this one guy, his wife and his. All his kids had passed away, and he was, like, freaked out. And he walked into his downstairs freezer, was looking for something. The door closed on him, and he couldn't get out, and he died in his freezer. And I had to set the book down, because I'm m like, oh, my God. Yeah, I don't think so. It just. I seriously freaked out.

>> Dave: Thanks, Stephen.

>> Darin: I'm not claustrophobic. That's a bad way to go.

>> Mike: The most horrendous parts of Stephen King books are the side stories. If you. Have you ever read. If you've read it. So the main story stand, and I've.

>> Darin: Read Gerald's game, and after Gerald's game, I swore I wouldn't read another Stephen King book.

>> Mike: The main story of it is one thing, but all the side stories. Yeah. And there's actually a new miniseries called welcome to Derry. probably on Amazon prime, because everything's on Amazon prime.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: that is like the prequel to it. And if you read the book, it. All those stories are in there, and they're the. They're downright terrifying.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So. But anyway, yeah. so as I'm reading the Bible, I'll read these other books. So I'm gonna get through dune, messiah.

>> Darin: I don't know how you read one book and read another book at the same time.

>> Mike: I can't even effectively do that.

>> Darin: Right. Because I. But, I don't have the brain capacity to really do it.

>> Mike: I probably don't either.

>> Darin: I just watch two movies at the.

>> Mike: Same time, saying what I'm attempting. Yeah, I will say that.

>> Darin: No, but no, because my wife, who thinks she's better than everybody else, can read. Oh, I love to read two or three books. And I just said, some days, I don't know what I'm in the mood for. I'm like, yeah, just, you know what? Read, one thing at a time. Quit showing off.

>> Mike: So if it's a different category. So I think the Bible's in a different category.

>> Darin: Really? Yeah.

>> Mike: So I think I can do that.

>> Dave: It could be argued.

>> Mike: You know what I mean? Or, like, I can read a nonfiction book and a fiction book at the same time.

>> Darin: Argument could be made. It is a different type of book.

>> Mike: I will say if you. I know you haven't read Dune. you know, out there listening to the show, I recommend reading the first dune. it's more of a philosophy book than an actual novel. I mean, there's. There's entire chapters where you just like, this is amazing. it goes through, like, what the characters are thinking, and really kind of blows your mind. That story is in much different way.

>> Darin: Honestly, the last time I read a book, I was reading David Sedaris.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I was in my. My bedroom and I'm there, and I'm reading, and Libby walks in, and she damn near dropped everything in her hands. What are you doing? What are you doing? She thought I was replaced with a clone.

>> Mike: You've read David Sedaris on the canadian mounted.

>> Dave: At this point, you know English.

>> Darin: Yeah, I do.

>> Mike: So I brought it to the family.

>> Darin: The funny thing is, is I'm very good at reading. Yeah, I can read. I know all the words. Yeah, I can read very well.

>> Mike: And if you don't know them, like, I have the ability to sound them out.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: the kids laugh at me when I'm doing that, but in generally speaking, I can get the gist of the word out. Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I make up my own definitions.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Kindle kind of ruined that. I quit reading books on Kindle. Because you can just tap the word. It tells you what it means.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: That sucks.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I want to just make up my own definition. It makes a story. You really don't know what's going to happen. Right? You know when you don't understand the words, that's where you got penultimately is penultimate happened. so I brought up an idea to the family tonight at dinner.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Well, the family minus Andrew, because he's working. Because he's always working. Right. But the idea was, why don't we do a family book club? we'll pick a book in a month, like, it'll be best this month. She makes us all read it. I'm sorry. She offers a book that we should read it. Yeah. And then I'll do it.

>> Dave: Offers. Replaces the word makes.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. And then we'll discuss it at the end of the month, and then it's my turn. And then it's Charlie Stern. It's Andrew Stern. So it serves a couple of purposes. One, it'll bring the family together. Two, you get to, you know, this is what I enjoy. And three, you get to see what the other people in your family. What's Charlie going to make us read?

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: What's Andrew going to make us read? Right. exactly. You know, so Bess was on board. She said, that sounds. And then in the middle of her saying, what I expect was, that sounds like a good idea. Charlie said, no. Nope, nope, nope. we're not doing that.

>> Speaker D: Hey, it's Leslie hole. I just wanted to say congratulations on your 200th episode. You guys are amazing. I don't know two other guys that deserve it more. Every podcast is a feel good podcast, and you have accomplished exactly what you want. Wanted to. And that makes me so happy that that's happened for you, too. And if you need to edit any of my english on here, Mike, be happy and go ahead and do it. I know you're dying to lol again. Congratulations, Darren. Who would have ever thought I would be sending you a message like this after I high school days? But I love you both. Have a great day. And congrats.

>> Darin: M. One of my favorite things we did on the podcast was when you had bring your daughter to work day, and Emma just tore into you. I thought that was lovely.

>> Dave: I had a blast doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: That was great.

>> Dave: Hey, everybody, this is your announcer, Dave lay. And all of us here at irritable dad syndrome are proud once again to celebrate, bring your daughter to work. So, to help with this week's show, please welcome my daughter, Emma M. Oh.

>> Mike: My God, dad, you're so embarrassing. For the hundredth time, it's not bring your daughter to work day. And I don't want to be on your stupid, irritable dork syndrome podcast with Beavis and Butthead. Is this what you call work? I mean, seriously, is this what you do when you're not watching my soccer games? God, I hate you.

>> Dave: Okay, now back to the show.

>> Darin: So, Libby and I have started walking. Okay. We're trying to exercise more. We cleaned out our basement.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: We have an unfinished part of the basement.

>> Dave: You still got a drum kit?

>> Darin: Oh, God. We got drums and drums and more drums.

>> Mike: I love the unfinished part of your basement.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Because there's so much storage there. Like, it looks like it's ready to store stuff.

>> Darin: Well, yeah, so. But we got rid of a bunch of stuff. We threw some stuff away. We donated some stuff.

>> Mike: Kids pictures.

>> Darin: yeah. it's like.

>> Mike: Okay, we get wedding dress. That's how they looked at with this, actually.

>> Darin: We kept that.

>> Mike: You know what, Libby.

>> Darin: Libby wanted to sell that. I'm like, why keep that? So. But we take it on traders world.

>> Mike: $20.20, $30 for that.

>> Darin: But we, we finally. There's a path you can actually get to. We have a treadmill.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: We have an a b bench. we can do the sit ups.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And Jacob's got a weight bench. And there. And there's a place to stretch. And there's a, Like a cycle. Not a. Not a bike, but a, like, kind of a rowing thing.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Anyway, so we can now exercise in our unfinished part of the basement because we can actually get into it. We couldn't for the longest time, but it's getting nice outside. So Libby and I have started walking. And what I'll do is we'll go and there's a pond in our neighborhood, and we'll walk. God. The other night we walked, I think, ten laps around the pond. And then we walked back home and got close to 7000 steps. So we're trying to do this.

>> Mike: Do you walk that rabbit?

>> Darin: No, we don't. What, the rabbit won't walk on a leash? Yeah. No.

>> Dave: You have a rabbit?

>> Darin: We do have a rabbit, yes.

>> Dave: In his name.

>> Darin: Figgy. Figgy, figgy the rabbit. So we're walking and it's like.

>> Mike: But instead of, bring the beeps out.

>> Dave: Where's the one k tone?

>> Darin: Are we having one of those episodes?

>> Mike: No, no, I just.

>> Darin: Is this gonna be one of those where I can't finish the story? Mike, m let you tell your Bible story.

>> Mike: I wanted to make sure. I just want to make sure Dave understood.

>> Darin: I sat here patiently and I let you tell your Bible story. now I'm daddy's. The other dad's.

>> Mike: I'm not going to say anything else. I just want to make sure Dave's on board.

>> Dave: Yes, well, I said the word one k tone. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

>> Darin: One k tone.

>> Dave: Oh, come on.

>> Darin: What are you talking about?

>> Dave: It's the beep.

>> Darin: Oh. Oh, yes, yes, yes.

>> Mike: Okay, I will shut it.

>> Dave: It's a thousand kilohertz. That's right.

>> Darin: So. So we're walking, around the pond.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And there are these kids, and they're fishing in the pond. Okay. And Libby said, that looks like fun. And I said, that doesn't look like fun at all. And she says, what's, what's your problem with fishing? And she forgot that when I was a kid, my uncle. Not my uncle, my cousin David and my brother, we were in Lafayette and we went fishing. And I was a kid, I was like five. And I had zero interest in fishing. And I had this toy that my cousin bought me at a convenience store. And I'm sitting there on the bank, and I'm playing. It was an incredible hulk. I'm playing with the little incredible hulk. My cousin David threw the reel back, and look, it went across my glasses. Oh, into my cheek. Oh, into my mouth. A hook went into my mouth. M okay.

>> Dave: M he did.

>> Darin: He caught me. I'm screaming to throw you back. He picked me up and ran, carried me, ran as far as fast as he could to this. There was, like, this pizza place nearby. Okay, guys, like, what the hell is going on? Oh, boy. And they call an ambulance. Ambulance comes. Actually, a police officer came.

>> Mike: What are you doing during this? Are you screaming? Okay, all right.

>> Darin: I am screaming. Crying, bleeding from the cheek.

>> Mike: Yeah. Okay, so the hook. I'm sorry, the hook is actually inside your mouth? Through.

>> Darin: Yeah, inside the seat. So a police officer comes. Nicest police officer I heretofore had ever met. And the cop said, said if I don't cry, he will buy me an ice cream cone. Okay. They take me to the hospital.

>> Mike: Haven't you earned an ice?

>> Darin: I was about to say, you know what? Thinking about that now, it's like, yeah, I should have got one. Although it's just got to come out of the hole in my mouth. But he says. He says, I'm going to get you an ice cream cone. Okay? So he was nice. Calmed me down. They took me to the hospital. My parents showed up, and David and my brother thought they were dead because they had taken me to the hospital. Nobody was in trouble or whatever. They clipped it, put the. Got the hook out. No problem. It does. It didn't even leave a scale. But the thing was, it went right across my glasses.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: It would have taken out my eye.

>> Dave: What?

>> Darin: My eye. And it's. Granted, it's my lazy eye, so, I mean, yeah, I'd have a patch or whatever to this day, or a glass. I like Thor.

>> Mike: That'd be awesome.

>> Darin: Kind of cool.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But I was like. And ever since then, I have zero interest in fishing.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah.

>> Darin: Like, I don't want to go fishing at all. And I think I may be the only person who ever lost an eye almost.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Fishing.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah. I don't like fishing.

>> Mike: yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: And that's my fishing story.

>> Mike: Get fishing.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Like, I understand it.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Intellectually, I enjoyed.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Fishing.

>> Darin: Yeah. There are people who, like, when you.

>> Dave: Were a kid, it's relaxing.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Kind of. Yeah. I. I mean, I do have one memory. My, dad had what was apparently exceptionally expensive, Rod. And I was.

>> Dave: If you could rephrase that, please.

>> Mike: Yeah, fishing rod. I was.

>> Dave: That stays in.

>> Darin: That's what she said.

>> Mike: I was holding it, he was getting something, and I. It went down, and, like, I dropped it into the lake that we m.

>> Darin: Were at or whatever, river pond, and.

>> Mike: He dove in for it.

>> Mike: M I never understood that.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Because why would you. Because I was like, oh, good, fancy. I don't know. I was a little kid. I don't know. You know, apparently it was, you know, I was trying to put myself in his place. I like, well, maybe if we were out fishing and my kids brought along my computer and just dumped it in the water, I would. I would dive down and get that thing.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. Never did like it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then I kind of feel bad because, you know, the kids have said a couple times, daddy, let's go fishing.

>> Mike: I'm like, no, Andrew really liked going fishing. We went fishing, I think, a couple times with the scouts, and I think Charlie said he would like to go fishing. So when we go visit the cousins, Bess's, sister, and they have a pond on their property, and they'll fish sometimes there.

>> Darin: That's where they killed the chicken.

>> Mike: Yeah, that's where Bob the chicken met his demise.

>> Dave: How did bob taste?

>> Mike: I didn't taste bob. I have a problem tasting something that was named.

>> Darin: Oh, by the way, all through the episode tonight, we've had, a few of our patrons leave us a nice congratulations.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So thank you for that. Mike Chisholm, fan of the show. I don't know why he asked this, but he asked the question, if you could pick one movie, would it be Ghostbusters or back to the future?

>> Mike: One movie to keep one movie, and then presumably, the other one goes away.

>> Darin: The other goes away forever.

>> Mike: ghostbusters. You would, you would keep ghosting Ghostbusters.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: They can't believe the effects hold up that well.

>> Darin: You know what? You're right.

>> Dave: Stay puffed. The marshmallow man.

>> Mike: Yeah, it the delivery.

>> Dave: Delivery. Yes. That's what I was gonna say.

>> Mike: That was amazing, because I just watched the stay puft Marshmallow man part again just a few days ago. M and the way that Dan Aykroyd is just, yes, it's the state marshmallow man.

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: You know, and Bill Murray, what did you do, Raydhe? You know, nobody, nobody steps on a church in my town. You know, there's so many.

>> Darin: Well, my favorite line is. It's true. This man has no. Yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: it's. It's a different. I saw it in the theaters as a kid. I did, too, to go see it.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: And it was good on one level. And then watching it as an adult, I didn't realize how much innuendo and all that stuff was in Bill Murray's performance. Yeah. And everything that they were doing. And, it's just. It's just a great movie.

>> Darin: It's an amazing movie.

>> Mike: So is back to the future.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: But if I had to only pick.

>> Darin: One that's taken, that's honestly, like, the toughest of all those, usually I can look at those and. And three actors have to go. Him, him and absolutely him.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But I was really, really torn by this one.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: It's a very tough call. So is back to the future. I mean, God, Michael J.

>> Mike: Fox. Yeah.

>> Darin: Was just absolutely the best.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: In that.

>> Mike: So what the.

>> Dave: Chris.

>> Darin: The chemistry with him and Christopher Lloyd together.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Come on.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Dave: And, you know, that was done on a break from family ties.

>> Darin: He would record family ties during the day and then shoot back. M. Well, there's a great doc. There's a great documentary, about Michael J. Fox on Apple.

>> Dave: Really?

>> Darin: Yeah. And if they made you as a production, guy as an editor would love how they did this because they took a bunch of unused footage from his film and use that as, like, b roll to kind of piece things together, the. The scenes. It's a really good document.

>> Dave: And he was not the original choice.

>> Mike: No. Eric Schultz, right? Yeah.

>> Darin: Was the original.

>> Mike: They actually filmed the movie with Eric.

>> Darin: They filmed for, like a month, and then it just wasn't working.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And you can find his scenes.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. There's a couple side by side. There's. The diner scene was completed.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And. And that is real. Yeah. At first glance, I mean, I was like, that's Michael. No, that's not Michael J. Yeah. They're similar.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Dave: Back to the future. Episode one and three were great. Two, not so much.

>> Darin: I think back to the future. Three was the worst.

>> Mike: I've only seen it once. I've seen 1 million times and half as much.

>> Darin: Two was a mind screw. Absolute. I mean, totally. The way they went back and then they came back and it was the alternate future, and it was just so, extremely well done.

>> Mike: Colder than a well diggers ass down here.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Mike: Three. I just don't remember three. There was a train.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And Mary Steenberg.

>> Darin: And Mary Steenburgen was in it. And there was the old hat. The old west. Yep. And she fell in love with Doc Brown. He stayed in the past.

>> Mike: And Biff had a black hat.

>> Darin: Exactly.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: Marty McFly was in that one.

>> Mike: Now, I, will say the Ghostbusters two is not nearly as good as the original.

>> Darin: I have one and two on dvd, and I haven't seen two.

>> Dave: But the giant flop was the.

>> Darin: With the women.

>> Dave: With the ladies.

>> Darin: Yeah. The female Ghostbusters.

>> Mike: Was it actually connected to this series, or was it a real.

>> Darin: I don't think it was.

>> Dave: There's actresses that actually are really good comedic.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: Ah. Kate McKinnon.

>> Dave: Okay, so how. How did that go wrong?

>> Darin: Oh, I hated it. I I. Well, I didn't want to watch it, and then Jake wanted, to. And, God, let's let the kids watch something. Jesus. So he's watching. And I tried, and I gave it a good ten minutes, and it was just horrible.

>> Dave: Just like the script or it just.

>> Darin: Everything. It just was not good, man. Yeah. It wasn't funny. It was, every, all the jokes felt forced.

>> Mike: But what we're really. Because I thought about this question today, and I thought when, my kids, we. The new Ghostbusters movie came out, and we still haven't seen afterlife.

>> Darin: No, I haven't either.

>> Mike: And part of it is, I'm not one of those guys. I'm not gonna go see the new movie, but.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: I also. It's not Bill Murray and those guys. It's not ghostbusters. Yes. I've said it.

>> Darin: I mean, Bill Murray's in the new one.

>> Mike: Well, in this new one that just came out.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I'm talking about the, afterlife one. Is he in that one, too? The Paul rudd.

>> Darin: Spoiler alert. Yes.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah. All right.

>> Darin: Yes. Yeah. The last one, the flop, it didn't flop by.

>> Mike: Well, there was a Ghostbusters three with the, with the chicks.

>> Darin: Oh, that one was horrible.

>> Mike: Yeah, that one.

>> Dave: And it flopped.

>> Darin: Yes. That way.

>> Dave: It's been two since then.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Dave: Okay.

>> Darin: yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: So, anyway, we haven't watched them, and I kind of wanted to see the new one in the theater, and I'm like, let's watch ghostbusters. And, the kids know, that's boring, and I don't want to watch that. I almost. I almost kicked him out of the house. Nobody disses ghostbusters.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: In my house.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then, and then when I saw this question from Mike Chisholm, I was like, I have to pick ghostbusters. Yeah. That created a real problem with me.

>> Dave: Now that relate to you reading the Bible?

>> Darin: Thou shalt not bust ghosts.

>> Mike: Yeah, that's right. Yeah. But there's a title. We were watching, back to the future, and the kids were a little bit too young for us to be watching it.

>> Darin: there's a lot of language in there.

>> Mike: A lot of language. And we kind of stopped it halfway through, and I remember thinking, yeah. I mean, I don't know that the kids are going to find this that funny anyway.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: But ghostbusters. I was like, yeah. so. And then we brought up Beetlejuice. I was like, we gotta. Let's watch Beetlejuice with the kids. And then Charlie, I think it was, I don't want to throw him under the bus, but one of our kids said, I don't know if I want to watch that. Like, now we're messing with.

>> Dave: You're sleeping in the car.

>> Darin: Yes. With the dog.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah. No. You. You didn't see the last Ghostbusters of Paul Rudd?

>> Mike: No, I haven't seen that yet, no.

>> Darin: Okay. There's.

>> Mike: I know.

>> Darin: I don't want to spoil it.

>> Mike: We've talked about it on this scene.

>> Darin: Where I almost tear it up.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Okay. Well, I was. I saw the trailer for the new one, and I saw Bill Murray and them.

>> Mike: Person on earth, some moron would turn left in front of me. A friend's a guy who will help you move a, best friend's a guy who will help you move a body.

>> Darin: After the first five minutes, 80% of the audience understood 40% of what you're saying. Five minutes later, 30. 90% of the audience remembers 7% of what you're saying, and 90% were actively engaged in sexual fantasies.

>> Mike: I'm not great at the advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

>> Darin: I go into the bookstore, I asked the clerk, can you tell me where the self help section is? And she said, why don't you try to find that yourself?

>> Mike: What in the hell kind of sales approach is that? You boys couldn't sell a dollar for $0.50 after I've had too much? I, cook myself a large flank steak, pan fried and salted butter. I eat that, put on a pair of wet socks, and go to sleep. You can take a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head.

>> Darin: Up there, but wouldn't you rather take.

>> Mike: His word for it? We know better than to come out of a movie theater with our girl and just say something like, you know, baby, that sigourney Weaver is a sexy woman.

>> Darin: Cause we know later that night, we're gonna be sitting at home eating meatloaf.

>> Mike: And go, hon, you know, this meatloaf is a little dry. Oh, well, why don't you have sigourney.

>> Darin: Weaver make you a meatloaf, then? Well, it was about that, time that I noticed this girl scout was about eight stories tall and was a Christian from the planet. I said, damn it, monster. get off my lungs.
